The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 186

Although An Ningning was somewhat absent-minded throughout the journey, she distinctly remembered that although the two of them hardly spoke along the way, whenever Shu Siyan and Ling Chunann spoke, their tone was always filled with laughter, sounding incredibly gentle.
Could it be that she had mistaken someone else earlier?
No, shouldn’t her focus be on how the boy she liked was getting so close to another man?
Thinking along these lines, An Ningning took out her phone and logged onto Penguin.
As An Ningning mentioned, their neighborhood was not far away. By the time the message notification sounded, Ling Chunann had already arrived home, the bathroom was already running hot water, and Shu Siyan was by the wardrobe fetching Ling Chunann a change of pajamas. Checking his phone, Ling Chunann found several new messages, all from An Ningning.
An Ningning: Just now, thank you, Senior, for sending me back. I'm really sorry for not saying goodbye when I left.
An Ningning: Um, Senior, I have a question, please don’t be mad, okay?
An Ningning: It’s just [Little Dilemma]
The last message was sent two minutes ago, presumably An Ningning was still hesitating whether to ask or not. Ling Chunann considerately replied: Go ahead and ask.
An Ningning: I forgot to ask today, what's the name of the person who drove? You two seem to get along well, what's your relationship?
"Baby, the bath is ready. Do you want me to wash you, or will you wash yourself?" At this moment, Shu Siyan placed the pajamas on the bed and asked.
"Together." Ling Chunann put down his phone.
098: Host, you’ve piqued the female lead’s curiosity but haven’t replied to her yet.
However, at this moment, Ling Chunann did not hear 098’s internal scream.
The next day, Ling Chunann woke up from the warm quilt, instinctively snuggled into Shu Siyan’s embrace, and asked in a daze, "What time is it now?"
"Eight o' five." Shu Siyan’s voice was clear. He stroked Ling Chunann’s back, "It’s still early, baby, sleep a bit more."
"Mhm." Ling Chunann murmured, about to fall back asleep, when he suddenly remembered he hadn't replied to the female lead’s message last night. He reached out for his phone, but before his hand could escape the blanket, Shu Siyan held it down, then his phone was handed to him.
"The power was out in the neighborhood last night, it was cold outside."
Turning over in the blanket, Ling Chunann unlocked his phone. After those two messages last night, An Ningning had sent another message about ten minutes later.
An Ningning: I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to pry into your privacy. If you don’t want to say, it’s okay [Cute]
"098, the female lead is quite cute," Ling Chunann said to 098.
098 glanced at Shu Siyan next to him, hesitated for a moment but didn’t dare to speak up. Throughout many worlds, it had almost confirmed that although this man couldn’t hear the content of the host talking to it, he could sense its presence and hear it speak. Therefore, unless necessary, it refused to communicate with the host in front of the man, still vividly remembering the last warning and penalty.
As for 098 being ignored by Ling Chunann in front of Shu Siyan, Ling Chunann had gotten used to it, and quickly replied to the female lead: It's not private, his name is Shu Siyan.
Hearing the notification sound, An Ningning, who was still asleep, suddenly woke up, immediately checked her phone, and after seriously pondering for three minutes, her gaze finally rested on the words "it's not private."
Since Ling Chunann said it wasn’t private, then their relationship must just be that of normal friends. With this thought, does it mean she still has a chance?
Thinking this way, An Ningning immediately lost all sleepiness, wishing she could get up and run three laps around the villa. As for the name Shu Siyan, she found it somewhat unfamiliar, so she didn’t dwell on it.
"Baby, what do you want for lunch today? How about dumplings? Do you want to set off fireworks tonight?" Shu Siyan asked.
"Either is fine. Do you know how to make dumplings?" Ling Chunann asked, knowing that the man could cook many dishes, but no matter the world, he had never tasted dumplings made by the man before.
"I really can’t." Shu Siyan looked pitifully, "I’ve never rolled dumpling wrappers."
Don’t believe him! It had clearly seen this person secretly practicing how to make dumplings just a few days ago!
Of course, 098’s internal scream ultimately went unheard.
Casting a somewhat skeptical look at Shu Siyan, unable to discern whether the man was acting or genuinely clueless, Ling Chunann eventually nodded, "I'll teach you, then."
Before meeting 098, Ling Chunann’s culinary skills were nearly impeccable. However, after being pampered by the man, he barely had to lift a finger, let alone knead dough or roll out wrappers. Nonetheless, saying he'd teach him, in the end, the man couldn’t bear to have Ling Chunann do the work, offering him a stool to sit and "supervise" instead.
Ling Chunann could easily see through Shu Siyan's proficiency in handling the task, but since he enjoyed it, he played along.
After lunch, Ling Chunann remembered the game he hadn’t played for a few days.
Shu Siyan, uncharacteristically, set up a computer next to Ling Chunann and joined him in the game.
Coincidentally, at this time, the world was heatedly engaged in a spitfire war between two guilds that looked familiar. One was the righteous Great Sword Pavilion, and the other was the villainous Wind Breaks the Ninth Heaven.
The reason for the war was obviously over a love interest.
"Host, they’ve been fighting for several days now, and now the whole server knows your name," 098 quietly reported to Ling Chunann.
Of course, even if 098 hadn't mentioned it, Ling Chunann had already known, seeing the full screen of feuds and private messages flooding in, he smiled contentedly and accepted the duels one by one.
Then a system message flashed by.
"All grudges of the martial world clear in a day, hoping for heroes to lend a hand. A bounty of 68888 gold is offered for [Fenglan], with the total bounty reaching 68888 gold. Heroes, do not miss this opportunity."
Ling Chunann glanced at the bounty amount and the prominent bounty mark above his head, raised an eyebrow, looked at the approaching purple names, and swiftly used a movement skill to escape.
Several familiar names then appeared in his private chat.
[Private][Ye Feixiao] whispered: Dance in the grass! Ah Lan! With such a high bounty, who have you offended recently?
[Private][Ye Feixiao] whispered: If you don’t mind, can I claim the bounty?
[Private][Ye Feixiao] whispered: Not that I'm being an unfaithful friend, just really too broke lately. How about you take ninety percent and I take ten? I've been surviving by selling heavy swords and trading [Pitiful]
"Baby, need help?" Shu Siyan asked.
"It’s fine, don’t delete me from your friends, okay? It wasn’t easy to build up the goodwill," Ling Chunann glared at Shu Siyan.
Shu Siyan laughed, "Okay."
Ling Chunann teamed up with Ye Feixiao and teleported to the Ming Sect map.
[Private] You whisper to [Ye Feixiao]: Saint’s Tomb Mountain, I'll wait for you for one minute.
Half a minute later, Ye Feixiao arrived beside Ling Chunann in a rush, and Ling Chunann instantly removed his equipment.
[Fenglan] has been successfully incapacitated within the time limit, bounty lifted. The hero who completed this bounty, please collect your reward at the messenger.
[Private][Ye Feixiao] whispered: I'm going to collect the bounty! Remember to call me next time you have such good luck! I'll send you the money later, muah [Kiss][Rose]
After saying this, Ye Feixiao left the team.
[Private][Ye Feixiao] whispered: Oh, by the way, Ah Lan, these past few days the villains and the righteous have been fighting. I heard it's because the villain's commander took a corner from our righteous side. Do you know what's going on?
[Private] You whisper to [Ye Feixiao]: Not quite sure.
[Private][Ye Feixiao] whispered: Ah, I’ve been busy with the New Year celebrations and haven’t been on much. If you run into any trouble, just poke us on Penguin, we’ll definitely help if we can.
At this moment, Shu Siyan invited Ling Chunann into the team, and soon his game character appeared before him, trading him several sets of Healing Pills.
"How come you have so many?" Ling Chunann asked.
"Been bounty hunted quite a bit in the past." Shu Siyan smiled, "I’ll pull you into the guild."
"Okay." Ling Chunann accepted while popping the pills.
[Guild][A Little Flower] welcomed [Fenglan] to the guild [Rose][Rose]
[Guild][A Little Sheep] welcomed [Fenglan] to the guild [Rose][Rose]
[Guild][A Little Puppy] welcomed [Fenglan] to the guild [Rose][Rose]
…
Ling Chunann had become a household name in the game over the past few days, undeniably the person of the year, as it was rare for a girl to spark a faction war. Now, the villain commander, Cliff Blade, and the righteous commander, Red Dust Swordsman, were fighting wherever they went, turning the whole game into a mess.
During this time, Red Dust Swordsman had repeatedly tried to negotiate peace with Half-City Rain, attempting to enlist their help in the war. Thankfully, A Little Flower was steadfast in resolve, determined to protect Shu Siyan, a top-tier player, and thus resolutely refused Red Dust Swordsman.
But now, the protagonist of the faction war had been pulled into their own guild!
[Guild][A Little Flower]: Feng, Fenglan?? Dance in the Grass, who brought them in?!
[Guild][A Little Bunny]: Up close observation of the female lead! Thinking Bunny Online Reading_
[Guild][A Little Quack]: Group photo, group photo.
...
Although it was during the New Year period, there were still seventy to eighty people online in the guild, and soon over a hundred messages were sent. Ling Chunann was very pleased with his fame and looked up at Shu Siyan, "Yanyan, quick, say something, just say I'm your destined one."
Then Ling Chunann realized he didn't need to say anything, as at the moment he spoke, Shu Siyan's message was already sent out.
[Guild][Shadowless]: [Fenglan] is my destiny.
As soon as Shu Siyan's message was sent, the previously buzzing guild fell silent instantly.
After a deathly silence, it was the guild leader who spoke first.
[Guild][A Little Flower]: Uh, did I just see things?
[Guild][A Little Sheep]: Hallucination, hallucination, go away.
[Guild][A Little Monkey]: What?? The boss has a love interest??
Shu Siyan stretched out his hand to touch Ling Chunann's hand, then turned up the heating a bit more.
Ling Chunann smiled at Shu Siyan, turned back to the screen, and seeing that everyone had almost finished discussing, he typed with a smile while crossing his legs.
[Guild][Fenglan]: Hello, everyone.
[Guild][A Little Flower]: You, hello, boss's wife.
[Guild][A Little Flower]: We've heard about the recent events, boss's wife, if you have any orders, just tell us!
As for the guild leader who switched sides so quickly, the guild members were already used to it. However, they were all curious about this girl who had recently been connecting with various famous and powerful figures.
Ling Chunann was also patient, organizing his words and telling them about the grievances between the original character and the male lead, but due to Shu Siyan being next to him, he didn't mention that the original character liked the male lead.
[Guild][Fenglan]: That's the situation, but I didn't expect things to develop to this point, and now I don't know what to do.
[Guild][Shadowless]: [Shadowless] gently patted [Fenglan]'s head.
[Guild][A Little Flower]: Wow, the boss is so affectionate, I want a head pat too.
[Guild][A Little Sheep]: [A Little Sheep] gently patted [A Little Flower]'s head.
[Guild][A Little Flower]: [Scorn][Scorn] Go away.
[Guild][A Little Flower]: So, it turns out that Red Dust Swordsman is really trash, trying to play two sides. Oh right, I know that girl called Tong Xin, I'll ask her.
Shortly after, Ling Chunann's system notification rang.
"Congratulations, host, counterattack value +10%, current counterattack value is 30%, please continue to work hard."
"Host, the female lead just completely broke off with the male lead in order to defend you. Also, the male lead's favorability is still at 10%," 098 couldn't help but remind.
"Mhm, soon."
"What?"
At this moment, the guild's welcome list lit up again, and this time the name being welcomed was Tong Xin.
[Guild][Tong Xin]: Eh? Ancestor, how come you are also in the guild?
